DALLAS, TEXAS - February 19, 2002 - VoiceStamps has developed and tested a new service that has shown to reduce instances of credit card chargebacks and fraud by 80% or more. Not only does the service reduce chargebacks, but it can process credit card and ACH check transactions from any touch-tone telephone.

Merchant Lynx Services credit news =] The service incorporates the use of Interactive Voice Response (IVR) terminals that collect a "voice stamp" or voice authorization and verification from the customer before the merchant ships the order. The voice recorded order verification is then automatically e-mailed to the merchant for filing in the event the customer tries to dispute the charge on their account. In addition, the merchant can retrieve verifications via touch-tone telephone for 2 years to meet the Telemarketing Sales Rule. The VoiceStamps system works independently and can be used with all credit card and check processing terminals, software, and billing programs.

Texas laws require that the lessor (the lease company) pay sales tax on the full value of any vehicle they buy from a dealer and lease back to a lessee (you and me). This is different from most other states in which no such tax is charged to the lessor, or the tax is administered in a different way.Of course, Texas lessors don't want to absorb the cost of the tax. If they did, there would probably be no leasing in Texas. Therefore, the lease company simply passes along the tax bill to the leasing customer. The leasing customer therefore pays full sales tax just as if he was buying the vehicle, not leasing.

By enforcing the rules that were already on the books, the financial stocks were driven up by short covering, and are being kept up by good earnings. "The move levels the playing field between the longs and the short," said Howard. He encouraged Cox to extend the enforcement of the rules to all stocks. American Express also said the weakening economy has led it to believe the company will no longer attain its forecast of 4% to 6% earnings growth this year. Analysts had expected a 2.9% drop in 2008 earnings to $3.29 a share vs. 2007, on average. The company said its earlier view was based on economic conditions remaining "in line with, or moderately worse than" in January. Instead, "The environment has weakened significantly since then, particularly during the month of June," the company said.

Nothing concrete has been announced, but the going thinking is that the government will either have to inject capital in one way or another or provide guarantees for the mortgage debt that�s been guaranteed by Fannie and Freddie. Bondholders have not had a problem with this � as Jim Cusser, senior vice president in fixed income at Waddell & Reed Asset Management said yesterday, �the lower the stock goes, the better the bonds are for the reason that they�re going to be closer to Treasury debt than further.�
Indeed, the credit-default swaps of Fannie and Freddie have both tightened Friday, according to Phoenix Partners Group. The cost of insuring $10 million in debt for five years has fallen to $65,000 for each company, down from $80,000 Thursday.

Merchant Lynx Services stock FAQ
Hello. I am approaching 24 months of a 36 month lease, and I currently have 30,000 miles on my Mazda. Being 6,000 miles away from maxing out my mileage puts me in quite the predicament. I am contemplating terminating my lease early, but I hear that the nasty 'early-termination fee' is brutal considering I would still owe the remainder of my monthly payments until the lease is up as well (and never mind the insane fee I would see as a result of going well over my allotted mileage). Therefore, what I would like to know is what I should do. I already know that I would like to purchase another Mazda, but would like a fresh start, so would I be better off purchasing the new Mazda shortly before I am about to go over my mileage on my current vehicle, and let my current vehicle sit, or is there another route that might be better? Quite concerned. I hope someone can shed some light for me

Merchant Lynx Check Guarantee Services =] A fixed-term tenancy or tenancy for years lasts for some fixed period of time. Despite the name tenancy for years, such a tenancy can last for any period of time � even a tenancy for one week would be called a tenancy for years. At Common law the duration did not need to be certain, but could be conditioned upon the happening of some event, (e.g. "until the crops are ready for harvest", "until the war is over"). In many jurisdictions that possibility has been partially or totally abolished.A fixed term tenancy comes to an end automatically when the fixed term runs out, or, in the case of a tenancy that ends on the happening of an event, when the event occurs.

Typically, your down payment and monthly charges will be lower with a leased vehicle than one purchased outright. That's why you can usually obtain a better vehicle for the same cash you put down. You might need nothing more to secure a lease than the first month's payment and a security deposit, which is usually about one monthly payment. Details vary sharply, though. Many lease deals require a substantial down payment and possible additional charges. Nothing affects lease terms more than your credit score. The alluring terms seen on TV commercials are available only to customers with a top-notch credit history. So-so credit means a bigger down payment and/or higher monthly payments. Poor credit generally means no lease at all.

Merchant Lynx Services Moneymaking Basics =] Jan 17 2008 : U.S Internet security firm Symantec has uncovered a new banking Trojan which steals customer data from over 400 banks worldwide. Trojan.Silentbanker intercepts account information before it is encrypted, redirects traffic to phishing Websites, and even alters transactions to send money to the attacker's bank account. It redirects financial transactions without the customer�s knowledge. Worryingly, the Trojan is able to circumvent two-factor authentication systems, where an online banking user is required to use a hardware security device as well as enter password information. "The scale and sophistication of this emerging banking Trojan is worrying, even for someone who sees them on a daily basis," wrote Symantec researcher Liam O'Murchu in a company blog.

When you look at new or take over trades see if you have an "angle" - are you way under miles, did you get a super good deal, did you put a lot down in cash or trade, etc. If you got a so-so deal and you are on target for miles then you don't have much to offer to most folks. If you have a hot deal compared to what the same car would cost other folks - lower payment, way under miles, etc then you may can move the car. If your lease is through Mazda American Credit (MAC) they do NOT release you from liability on the lease even if you transfer it to someone else. So if they turn it in over miles, bald tires, and big dents and scratches then MAC comes after you if they can get the money from them. I would not transfer my lease under those circumstances. After selecting the vehicle you want, you have to decide whether you want to buy it with cash, buy it with credit, or lease it. You may wish to comparethe advantages and disadvantages of leasing against those of buying a vehicle. Some of the many factors to consider are a comparison of initial costs and continuing costs, the costs that can be imposed at the end of the transaction and for early termination of the contract, the value you place on equity and ownership, and tax considerations.( Merchant Lynx Services money sites)

Because ownership is retained by the lessor, he or she always has the better right to enforce all the contractual terms and conditions affecting the use of the land. Normally, the contract will be express (i.e. set out in full and, hopefully, plain language), but where a contract is silent or ambiguous, terms can be implied by a court where this would make commercial sense of the transaction between the parties. One important right that may or may not be allowed the lessee, is the ability to create a sublease or to assign the lease, i.e. to transfer control to a third party. Hence, the builder of an office block may create a lease of the whole in favour of a management company that then finds tenants for the individual units and gives them control.

The stock market is simple. Stocks are partial ownership shares in a company. In essence, if the company grows or makes profits, the stock price goes up. If it shrinks or loses money, the stock prices goes down. This is a very simplified analysis, but good enough for a beginner.You make money by buying stocks low and selling high (known as value investing) or buying stocks high and selling higher (known as growth or momentum investing, depending on the situation).

A periodic tenancy, also known as a tenancy from year to year, month to month, or week to week, is an estate that exists for some period of time determined by the term of the payment of rent. An oral lease for a tenancy of years that violates the Statute of Frauds (by committing to a lease of more than--depending on the jurisdiction--one year without being in writing) may actually create a periodic tenancy, the construed term being dependent on the laws of the jurisdiction where the leased premises are located. In many jurisdictions the "default" tenancy, where the parties have not explicitly specified a different arrangement, and where none is presumed under local or business custom, is a month-to-month tenancy.( Merchant Lynx Services Moneymaking Basics)

Fannie Mae bonds seem to be doing okay. Pretty good for a firm theoretically insolvent. A halt in trading would kill the shorts. This would give traders time to see through the hype.

Insurance is primarily regulated at the state level. The federal McCarran-Ferguson Act, passed in 1945, established that federal acts that do not expressly purport to regulate the "business of insurance" do not preempt state laws and regulations that regulate the "business of insurance." Each state operates independently to regulate their own insurance markets, typically through a state department of insurance. Model acts and regulations promulgated by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) provide some degree of uniformity between states. These models do not have the force of law and have no effect unless they are adopted by a state. They are, however, used as guides by most states, and some states adopt them with little or no change. In recent years, some have called for a dual state and federal regulatory system for insurance similar to that which oversees state banks and national banks

Insurance is primarily regulated at the state level. The federal McCarran-Ferguson Act, passed in 1945, established that federal acts that do not expressly purport to regulate the "business of insurance" do not preempt state laws and regulations that regulate the "business of insurance." Each state operates independently to regulate their own insurance markets, typically through a state department of insurance. Model acts and regulations promulgated by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) provide some degree of uniformity between states. These models do not have the force of law and have no effect unless they are adopted by a state. They are, however, used as guides by most states, and some states adopt them with little or no change. In recent years, some have called for a dual state and federal regulatory system for insurance similar to that which oversees state banks and national banks

Why did you buy or sell the stock? Include your Trading Plan for the stock in this section. The best trading decisions come from following your trading plan, not by making an emotional spur-of-the- moment decision. Dr. Alex Elder begins his best selling book "Trading for a Living" with an interesting presentation on "Individual Psychology." He suggests that in many cases, it is as valuable to spend time analyzing our individual trading psychology, as it is to spend time studying the markets. Dr. Elder says, "You need to be aware of your tendency to sabotage yourself. Stop blaming your losses on bad luck or on others and take responsibility for the results. Start keeping a diary - a record of all your trades, with reasons for entering and exiting them. Look for repetitive patterns of success and failure." He recommends printing out a chart of your stock before you buy and after you sell the stock, annotating it with your entry and exit points to paste into your trading journal. As Dr. Elder says, "we don't have the luxury of making decisions in the middle of the chart, we can only work at the right edge where the next entry is an unknown."
